I can empathize with liberals. I understand why this loss has been so psychologically damaging. At least when McCain and Romney lost in 2008 and 2012, it wasn't a total shocker. When Trump won, it was a like a 2x4 across the face. And because of his combative, rude personality, he continues to mush his victory in their faces. So I completely understand how unhinged liberals have become.
But the problem is that the folks who make up the media, government bureaucracy, academia, and popular culture - who by their positions have more influence and louder voices - are overwhelming liberal. Which means that they are poisoning our national discourse with their insane delusions and crazy behavior.
We've gotten to the point now where once respected journalistic outfits like CNN and the Washington Post are running with outlandish stories concocted on internet message boards in an effort to discredit the incoming president. The same people, ironically, howling about "fake news." And when they've cried wolf for the thousandth time and no longer possess a shred of credibility and no one believes them anymore, who holds government in check?
Everything seems completely out of balance. I don't agree with liberals politically and I think they lack a certain amount of common sense, but they've gone cuckoo bananas and it feels like some sort of critical mass has been achieved where they may not be coming back from the edge.
